Quote: "Two Chinese crew members have died after allegedly inhaling poisonous gas on a cargo ship carrying non-coking coal from Indonesia about 130km from Haldia port. Another two members of staff fell sick during the incident on 21 April."

Note: A man was found burned to death at 3 AM near the Days Inn outside Tallulah (Louisiana) recently too, mentioned in the 2014-04-14 update. Hydrogen sulfide and methane are both highly flammable gases and will ignite people and vehicles and buildings...

Note: This is by no means the first time multiple people have been found mysteriously dead in a hot tub or sauna. Three men, all 36 to 48, were found dead in a sauna in Ennepetal (Germany), mentioned in the 2013-12-20 update. Three men in Russia were found dead in a sauna, as mentioned in the 2013-04-14 update. A couple was found dead in their hot tub at home in coastal Edisto Beach (South Carolina), mentioned in the 2013-09-28 update. Two people were found dead in a hot tub at 3:30 AM at a home on Lakeview Drive in Sharps Chapel (Tennessee), as mentioned in the 2013-07-23 update. A man and woman were found dead in a hot tub in Florida, as mentioned in the 2012-02-11 update. Multiple people have been found dead in or near boats and in homes in numerous incidents as well. The most people found dead at a home - so far - is a family of seven found dead in Sogakope (Ghana), mentioned in the 2014-04-08 update. All of the animals were found dead there too. We haven't hit the entire-towns-dropping-dead stage yet, but we're getting closer to that every day now...

Quote: "It is reported that after the entire family dined outside together, the couple retreated to their room on Sunday evening. However, the next morning when their family attempted to wake them, they did not respond. The family broke in to find their bodies on the bed."

Note: Multan is located on the eastern (downwind) banks of the Chenab River...

Quote: "The dead were identified as Raju and Madhavan, both hailing from Dindigul in Tamil Nadu. Their co-workers were waiting for them outside the manhole when the duo inhaled hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and died."

Quote: "The bodies of the 77-year-old man and the 43-year-old woman showed no visible signs of injury but police were initially treating the deaths as suspicious. After forensic experts completed their examinations, police have now concluded that 'at this time, there’s no evidence that the deaths are suspicious', a spokeswoman said on Sunday."

Note: That's reassuring. So, just another couple of people dropping dead then. Happens all the time...these days!

Quote: "All animals in their compound were also found dead, Accra-based Citi FM Tuesday reported. According to the report, the dead, comprising two adults and five children have been missing since last Friday. Their bodies were found in a decomposed state at about 3:30 pm Monday. It is not immediately clear what caused the deaths."

Note: Sounds like a pretty good-sized cloud of hydrogen sulfide may have descended on this property and killed everyone and everything there. It's deadly stuff. That's partly why the British used it on the Germans in WWI. The other reason is that it's a heavier-than-air gas, so it would flow down into the trenches and kill the crap out of the soldiers in them. You won't see it coming because it's invisible and it can hit anyone at any time now. It may not smell bad, if you can smell it at all, and you shouldn't count on smelling it. It may smell 'sweet' or 'flowery' or 'sickeningly sweet'. If you smell something like that and there's no discernible reason for it, you may be in big trouble. Sogakope is located on the northeast (downwind) banks of the Volta River, near the coast...
